About DC
With over 30 Years of experience in Windows-based technical support and training, I focus on getting you and your business back on track quickly.
I can help you get your Windows-based voice over or streaming setup dialed in and ready to work. I understand both the computer technology and the unique needs of the voice over and game streaming worlds. Which means I can translate all the technological gobbledygook into plain English, so we can get things solved quickly and get you back to work.
You do not have to be a tech genius to succeed in voice over. You just need some specific training and translation to get you comfortable with the gear you already have. Lucky for you, I’m fluent in geek, nerd, tech-dude, IT, and audio engineer.

Hi! I’m DC. Outside of VO and tech, I’m an accomplished and experienced “maker of things” with specific skills in welding, woodworking, electrical, plumbing, painting (automotive and airbrush), classic car restoration, movie car replication, broadcast engineering, acoustics, computers and networking, smart home technology, special effects, prop making, and all manner of cool “dad” stuff. (Gooey things, sciencey things, messy things and things that go boom!)
Professionally I started my journey as a radio air-talent back in the olden days of magnetic tape. From there I’ve been teaching, training folks, and coaching through just about every other career I’ve had. So, I can help you get to where you need to be quickly. Give me a call and let’s get you moving again!
